US strike on Mexico by...?

Traders currently price "December 31" at 12% for "US strike on Mexico by...?". Full distribution: December 31 12%, January 31 0%, March 31 0%. The market has traded $3.4M in total volume and resolves Dec 31, 2026. Trump administration statements in January 2026 about potential land operations against Mexican cartels, following U.S. maritime strikes on suspected drug vessels and actions in Venezuela, have shaped trader assessments of low near-term probability for strikes inside Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has consistently rejected unilateral U.S. military action on sovereign territory, stressing expanded bilateral security cooperation, extraditions, and joint efforts against fentanyl trafficking instead. No U.S. drone, missile, or air strikes on Mexican soil have been reported despite ongoing cartel violence and U.S. designations of groups as terrorist organizations. Analysts note substantial diplomatic, legal, and escalation risks, including strained trade ties and potential cartel retaliation, that sustain the market's modest implied odds for any such event by year-end.
